Welcome

Hello! I am an elementary school teacher with three great little boys. I am also a Weight Watchers fanatic! I have found that after a while I got sick of eating the same things over and over again. I also find it very challenging to cook recipes that my stick-thin husband and children will find tasty, while also being healthy and low fat. But, I am always up for a challenge!Most of the recipes I have and will post will include WW points and will have been approved by my own little “peanut gallery”. My goal is to eventually build up some amazing menus that I can serve to just about anyone!

I have found a new website that I love! Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes. I made this tonight and it was so good. Gina really knows her stuff!

3 chicken breast halves

1 small onion, quartered

1 tomato, quartered

1 carrot, peeled and chopped

2 cloves garlic, peeled

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 small green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

1 small red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

1/4 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup tomato sauce

reserved broth

1 tsp cumin, or more to taste (I like a lot)

garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

Place chicken, onion, tomato, carrot, and 2 cloves of garlic into crock pot. Add water to cover, and set to high for 4 hours until the chicken is tender. If cooking on the stove, cook on medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Place the chicken into a bowl and shred it into strips using a fork; set aside. Reserve the liquid.

In a large deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, green peppers, and red peppers. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in chicken, tomato sauce, white wine, and about 3/4 cup of the reserved broth to create a nice sauce. Season with cumin, garlic powder salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer on low for about 10 minutes more adding more broth and seasoning if needed. Makes 4 cups.
